On 8^th November, 2023, Camões House organised a STAR Method Job Interview Workshop at Fellows’ Salon. The purpose of the workshop was to introduce a special technique in which students become equipped for answering behavioral and situational interview questions. STAR is an acronym for situation, task, action and result.

College Affiliates, Messrs. Michael Lichenstein and Kerrin Burnell, set the stage for the story by playing the roles of hiring managers. They asked some behavioral interview questions to determine whether the participants were the ideal candidate for a job. Student were given opportunities to share specific situations or challenges they faced. This method prepared clear and concise responses using authentic life experience. Through this experience, students learned that by sharing two or three important details about relevant work situations, academic projects or volunteer work, both interviewers were more concerned with the actions taken by the students, and the results they achieved.
